I have been trying to find a reasonably priced hotjo mug for years now in the deep purple color. I saw a bunch of other colors or ones that looked close to the one I wanted but just couldn’t find the exact one I wanted. Well, yesterday my wife gave me the best valentines day gift ever! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a Raktajino to make.

      This has a rubber pad on the bottom of it so one it is on a desk or table it’s not gonna spill unless you really try.

      those triangular-shaped coffee-mugs were really popular for a while in the 80s and 90s as they were supposed to be more difficult to tip over and/or spill the contents when being carried around/jostled. they were especially popular for those who liked to drive with their coffee, until it just became clear that i was simpler to design insulated mugs with lids.

        I think where they really shine is on a desk, where you’re not dealing with cup holders , but a wide base and low center of gravity gives you a puncher’s chance if you happen to bump into it while grabbing for a pen or a book or something.
